What is the specific significance of the table tennis match and the second half? Take the recent World Table Tennis Championships for example. Thank you.

In a table tennis match, the winner is the one who scores 1 1. After the score is tied 10, the winner is the one who scores 2 points first. One game: one game uses two wins in seven games or two wins in five games, and the Olympic table tennis competition uses two wins in five games.

Table tennis competition rules

Before the start of many official competitions, athletes will be asked to "guess the ball" or "flip a coin" to decide which side will serve first. As the saying goes, serve first, then take the lead. So which side serves first has a certain effect on your morale.

"Guess the ball": The referee holds the ball and changes the position of the left and right hands holding the ball under the table. When the final position of the ball is determined, one of the players guesses the ball and chooses the left hand or the right hand. After the selection, the referee also raised his hand to show the position of table tennis to the guessing party. If you guess correctly, you can choose to serve first or choose the service position, and the opponent chooses the remaining unselected options.

"Coin toss": The referee holds a coin in his hand, so that the athletes of both sides can choose one side of the coin and then toss it. Finally, the referee throws a coin and catches it. Which side of the coin faces up, then which player can choose the serve or position first.

For table tennis, the score is 1 1. Players from both sides serve two balls in turn. After serving, the player who reaches 1 1 wins and plays the next game. However, when the scores of the players from both sides reach 10: 10, a play-off is needed, that is, each player from both sides takes turns serving until one side exceeds the score and wins.

Generally, there are three kinds of competitions: best of three games (preliminary), best of five games (semi-final), best of seven games (final), best of five games and best of seven games. The deciding game, that is, the last game after a big score of 2-2 or 3-3, when one side wins 5 points, the players of both sides need to change venues.
